    Bear!!!

    Driving back to Pt. Washington from Panama City, I saw what I thought was a black cow on the north side of hwy 98 just before the intersection with 395. When I got closer, I realized it was a bear and when I slowed the car, it stood up! It is beautiful! and BIG. A bit close to home though.

    Wow. I would love to know about how many black bears live in the hood. and where they like to hang out so I can give them plenty of space.

    I thought Da Bears lived at Bobby J's house and drank Papst Blue Ribbon until late in the night...
    My mind tends to wander... but fortunately, it's so weak, it doesn't get very far...

    Oh c'mon! A skunkape never ate garbage? I did not realize skunkapes had such an attitude about bears. Not surprised though. Bears are cleaner and better looking.

    We saw a black bear in that area, but on the south side of 98 and he stood up too as if watching the traffic!

    Saw a black bear twice last season. One lives in the forest not far from Old Florida Fish House. It came to get some food from garbage container late at night. Then he noticed me and other people and ran back to the forest.
    Next time he tried to come before sunset. It was funny to look at him, cause he walked very carefully coming closer and closer to container, then somebody started to yell:"Bear, bear" (idiot), and this animal ran back to the forest again...
    It was bigger then human, but IMHO pretty young... Any way we saw torn bags with with garbage aroun this container, so this guy used to come several times...

    PS: What's Skunk Ape ??? Tell me that's another myth about Big Foot ???
